Results from the Clinical Education and Training Program at the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS (BC-CfE) was on display this week at a national conference on medical education.

The condensed program is based on the traditional three-month preceptorship offered by the BC-CfE, and is also available to Interior Health and Vancouver Island Health Authorities.

The CCME is the premier medical education conference in Canada and hosts the largest annual gathering of medical educators in the country.
